Building an Off Grid Cabin in the Trees: Full Pallet Cabin Build Start to Finish

We build an off grid cabin in the trees using free recycled pallet wood. We tried to save money by using recycled pallets for the walls and roof. The cabin is raised up on some stilts and it wraps around a beech tree. Most people don't have the space, time or money to build a log cabin, but building a tiny home in the trees is achievable by using recycled materials and this is where pallet wood works so well. The entrance to the cabin is up the ladder and through a trap door. It is powered by a portable battery, which provides electricity to the cabin. There is a gas stove for cooking and a woodstove is used to heat the cabin.

The build started by burying some 4x4 posts in the ground, which we also made more solid by pouring in some post-crete around the base of the posts. We made the foundations from some 2"x4" wood and then we used our milled up oak planks from our woods for the floorboards. Then we built the walls from more 2"x4" and installed some fixed windows as well as a small folding window for ventilation. We built a folding table to help save space in the cabin, and then installed some shelving, lighting and the woodstove for heat. I spent the first night alone in it a few weeks ago and it was very peaceful and warm. Watch the individual episodes in full below:
